School board member Steve Asay accepts a shirt and gift certificate to a local restaurant. Members of the Mount Vernon School Board were presented with button down shirts with the school logo and gift certificate to a local restaurant in recognition of School Board Appreciation Month.

“I know how many hours you guys spend in meetings and studying information,” Superintendent John Kaufman told the board. “I appreciate all you do and how you always put our students first.” See the Jan. 16 edition of the Mount Vernon Optic-Herald for more details from the monthly board meeting.
